Seed Ripoffs???
permalink

Ive heard so much conflicting info as to where to buy good seeds. Dont want to wind up with hemp rope or all males or even worse--nothing at all. Also is it safe to have seeds shipped to your residence if that is where you intend to grow??

Well, I just started my first grow using seeds that I got from www.seedsdirect.to The transaction worked great with them, I payed via paypal and they shipped the next day, and so far theyve had 100% germination rate (im usin nirvana) They even shipped an extra 5 power plant seeds for free! So I was pretty stoked. They hid the seeds quite well and it got through customs fine. So the risk is pretty minimal it seems at least with them. Its all up to you. Good luck man.

Wink Heaven's Stairway

I ordered from Heaven's Stairway and the seeds came within 5 days! They were safe and secure and all are going to be planted this weekend. They were very prompt and even changed my order at the last minute. As for shipping to your grow spot, that's a personal call. I would recommend not doing it if at all possible. If not thought, the chances are pretty slim that anything would go wrong unless there is already a reason that someone is watching what you are doing.

Cool Amsterdam to US Customs
permalink

Just got back from Hamsterland (HAD A BLAST!!!!!) EVERYONE should go atleast once. 1 US dollars is worth over 2.50 Dutch Guilders (SWEET).

I returned to the USA and was stopped (searched) in Customs 45 min. I had about 40 seeds in my suitcase that they found. They asked me what it was, I told them that they are HEMP seeds. The Customs agent then handed me the seeds and said right awnser.

I was freakin I thought I was gonna get busted, but I passed and got to keep the seeds. Has this happened to anyone? Was it because I said "HEMP" instead of POT ,MJ.?

If anyone has any info please reply as I will be returning to Hamsterland this Dec.

I got my seeds at www.emeryseeds.com It is run by Marc Emery. He guarantees delivery. He is also the leader of the Marijuana political party in British Columbia. So this guy knows his stuff.

I know everyone says that he has high prices, but if you live in Canada he has great prices. If your in Canada, most online seed shops charge in american money so it kind of sucks. But this guy is based out of vancouver and he has the largest seed supply on earth, over 400 strains.

I hope you moderators don't think of this as an advertisement for the place, it's just that I think it's a great place to buy seeds.

later

I just got my seeds from www.seedsdirect.to and I have to say I was very impressed not only with the prices, which have to be about the keenest I've seen, but also with the service... getting a free 10 bag of their top 5 was a very pleasant surprise too - now I've gotta find space for the extra ones!!

They also run a hydro/grow shop which they tell me should be online soon - again, very helpful suggestions from the staff... not just trying to sell their most expensive products as some places seem to!
